How to send Slack messages to a channel or user from your doc

To do so, insert a button in the canvas or within a column (column type 'button'), and select 'Slack' as the button type. Then fill out each field in the button configuration.

To 'point' the button to a slack channel. enter # and the channel name in the field.
